100 unhip albums - Ian Keith Moss

Musical Snobbery has been around since Mozart was appalling audiences in the eighteenth century but now, with most music available to listen to for free on Spotify or YouTube, there really is no excuse not to give an artist another listen, even if you have fore-sworn them for most of your life, fell out of love with them or never even heard of them. Music obsessive Ian Moss has written over 100 dense and amusing mini-essays on a selection of some of the uncoolest (but musically superb) records ever released. From famous albums which have since become uncool such as Sgt. Peppers to unhip bands such as Status Quo and Queen who were deemed uncool at some point in the past. Then there are the unfavoured folk, soul and jazz artists who were criminally overlooked and the downright obscure bands who put out superb records only to disappear without trace. Ians amusing and fact-drenched book is a must for anyone in need of new sounds to spice up their listening pleasure!
